Botox injections are a safe, quick and minimally invasive procedure that can help turn back the clock by temporarily smoothing away unwanted facial wrinkles. And let’s face it, when you look your best, you feel more confident about yourself.
Botox or botulinum toxin has become one of the most popular non-surgical facial cosmetic procedures since it was introduced into cosmetic practice in the early 1980s. It can offer dramatic real-time results in a variety of cosmetic applications and help reverse the signs of aging with minimal discomfort. Nowadays, both women and men of all ages choose Botox injections for the treatment of dynamic wrinkles which develop naturally over time. The results are visible in as little as 3 to 4 days after the injections and usually last 3 to 4 months.
The Benefits of Botox® Injections
Botox is used to effectively treat moderate to severe dynamic wrinkles which develop over time as a result of the repeated contraction and relaxation of facial muscles. Injection of botulinum toxin is particularly effective in managing moderate to severe crow’s feet and frown lines that occur between the forehead in adults. Static wrinkles, or ‘wrinkles at rest’, are more difficult to treat as they involve the deeper facial muscles, however regular applications of Botox injections can prevent wrinkles in motion from becoming static wrinkles.
Botox injections are used to treat numerous facial wrinkles which make you look angry, tired or sad even when you are not. Botox can be applied to your forehead, eye area, around the mouth, chin and neck. Experienced cosmetic facial experts, like Dr. Denton, can ensure that the right amount of Botox is injected in specific areas to produce natural-looking results that will enable you to show emotions through your facial movements, avoiding the “frozen face” which results from an inappropriate dosage of Botox.
The Botox® Treatment Procedure
Once Dr. Denton has consulted with you on a proper treatment regimen to ensure the best possible outcome, you will be treated in an outpatient setting at his Vancouver clinic with absolutely no downtime.
The required units of Botox are injected directly into the target muscle. The area to inject and the dosage required for optimal benefit will be decided prior to the treatment. Since the procedure itself is only about 10 to 30 minutes for a full session, it can easily be performed during your lunch break. Once the procedure is completed you will be able to return to work immediately.
Ideal Candidates For Botox®
Almost anyone, woman or man, who would like to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles is a candidate for Botox injections but when it involves treatment of frown lines it is most suitable for people under the age of 65.
In general, the ideal candidates are individuals who would prefer a minimally invasive facial rejuvenation treatment rather than extensive facial plastic surgery. It is an ideal treatment for those who have realistic expectations of the outcome of their procedure and don’t mind a facial rejuvenation procedure that achieves temporary results.
